Healthy foods, supplements, preparations and remedies based on
natural ingredients are increasingly promoted in human health, and
can equally be used for your horse's health. Ingredients such as
yoghurt, ginger and buckwheat can promote general well-being and
address specific concerns about equine conditions and ailments.
This books presents an essential A-Z reference guide to common
natural medicinal recipes based on wild-growing and easily
available flowers, fungi and herbs such as horsetail, chamomile and
medicinal mushrooms. Explaining how they can be used and the
potential benefits to your horse's health. Around 80 natural
products are covered, including recipes and preparations to make

usage. The plant description, action, use and dosage are provided
for each remedy, along with some additional veterinary advice.
Natural Medicine for Horse is not only a perfect guide for horse
owners but a great book for natural remedy enthusiasts too.
In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described "Die Beiden
Grundrpobleme der Erkenntnistheorie" - 'The Two Fundamental
Problems of Knowledge' - as .,."a child of crises, ... above all of
... the crisis of physics. It asserts the permanence of crisis; if
it is right, then crisis is the normal state of a highly developed
rational science." Finally available in English for the first time,
it is a major contribution to the philosophy of science and
twentieth century philosophy generally.
Drawing on important research Popper carried out between 1930 and
1933, "Die Beiden Grundrpobleme der Erkenntnistheor"ie was not
published in German until the early 1980's. The two fundamental
problems of knowledge that lie at the center of the book are the
problems of "induction," the theory that although we are only able
to observe a limited number of particular events, science
nevertheless advances universal statements; and the problem of
"demarcation"; what separates empirical science from
non-science?
Popper seeks to solve these two basic problems with his celebrated
theory of falsificationism. He argues that science is separated
from non-science not by the verifiability but by the falsifiability
of its theories. Popper also argues that science is not inductive
but ultimately deductive; it does not start out from observations
and generalize from them, as many presumed, but starts with
problems, which it attacks with bold conjectures.
As such, "The Two Fundamental Problems of Knowledge" contains many
of the celebrated arguments that were to later find full expression
in Popper's most celebrated work, "The Logic of Scientific
Discovery," It is therefore essential reading for anyone interested
inKarl Popper, the history and philosophy of science, and the
methods and theories of science itself.
In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described Die beiden Grundprobleme der Erkenntnistheorie – The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge – as ‘…a child of crises, above all of …the crisis of physics.’
Finally available in English, it is a major contribution to the philosophy of science, epistemology and twentieth century philosophy generally.
The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the centre of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances unrestricted universal statements; and the problem of demarcation, which asks for a separating line between empirical science and non-science.
Popper seeks to solve these two basic problems with his celebrated theory of falsifiability, arguing that the inferences made in science are not inductive but deductive; science does not start with observations and proceed to generalise them but with problems, which it attacks with bold conjectures.
The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge is essential reading for anyone interested in Karl Popper, in the history and philosophy of science, and in the methods and theories of science itself.
